To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his career-changing ‘Dark Side’ show, Tim Minchin will tour Australia this year.
Kicking off this October, the revered Australian musician and comic will take the ‘Songs The World Will Never Hear’ tour to Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Newcastle, Sydney, Gold Coast and Toowoomba.
“20 years ago, ‘Dark Side’ took me from tiny cabaret rooms to the West End of London. In the years since then, I’ve pushed the boat out in as many directions as possible… and I’ve only been able to do so because of my fans,” Minchin said.
“They’ve never flinched as I’ve turned corners and reinvented myself, always engaging open-heartedly with whatever I have to offer. I’m the luckiest artist on the planet and I can’t wait to be back touring my home country with a big joyous show, spanning my whole bloody mad career.”
The tour announcement comes only days after Minchin announced his second studio album, TimMinchinTimeMachine, set for release on Friday, July 25th via BMG.
“Twenty years ago, when I fell into comedy, I put my hopes of a recording career on the shelf. After 2020’s Apart Together, I started thinking about properly producing some of the tunes I wrote in my prolific-but-obscure twenties,” Minchin said last week.
“I was just going to leak these tunes without fanfare, but when BMG heard them, they convinced me that they deserved an album of their own. Young-me would be very stoked indeed to see this project live.”
